Episode 48

On tonight's episode we take a look at "COMPASSION"

As men this is something we all struggle with. We struggle because we see it as a sign of weakness. From childhood, most of us men are taught to be strong! To not show weakness, hold your emotions, don't cry etc.

But honestly, that's only part of what we should do. I do agree as men we should know when and how to show emotion. That we shouldn't be ruled by it, But when we hold it all in, it often times creates a monster inside of us, that if ever unleashed, is hard to gain control of again.

For years, as a believer and a non believer, I struggled to show compassion for certain types of people, Addicts, the homeless etc. My thought process is they chose that life, so they need to choose to change.

They do need to choose top change, but rarely do these people choose this situation. Often times it sneaks up on them and before they know it, it is out of control.

It wasn't until I found myself in a season of life where I was depressed, lonely and wanted nothing to do with God, church etc. that I began to see just how people end up in these types of situations. I went through a very hurtful situation. While now I see that it was as much my fault as others, at the time I couldn't see anything but how I was wronged.

In that time so many people showed me compassion. It made me look at myself and see just how un compassionate I had been for so long. When I looked at my situation I understood that only I could choose to change and allow God to help me, but I had so many people there willing to help me get better. What if we did that with everyone? How much sooner would people come out for these terrible life situations and move on with being productive with their lives?

Jesus understood this. He had compassion for so many. He took the time to love people and share hope with each of them. We need to learn to do the same. I'm not saying let people take advantage of us. We need to hold them accountable, but we can do so with the love and heart of Christ.Hope you enjoy this episode.
